The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:17-24

Christianity and the relations of life. From the special case with which he has just dealt, the apostle proceeds to lay down a general principle. To understand the need for this, we have only to remember the circumstances of the time and the bearing upon these of the doctrines of the gospel. To many minds Christianity must have appeared to be revolutionary in its tendency. It proclaimed the equality of all men in the sight of God, the temporary nature of earthly things, the approaching... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:19

Circumcision is nothing. The Jews regarded it as everything; and to make this assertion at so early an epoch of Christian history, required all the courage of St. Paul, and proved his grand originality. He was the first to prove to the Jews that circumcision had become a thing intrinsically indifferent, which might, under some circumstances, be desirable (as in the ease of Timothy), but could never be reckoned among essentials. And uncircumcision is nothing. The same sentence occurs three... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:19

Obedience is everything. One great result of the introduction of Christianity into the world was to diminish the importance of trifles and to elevate great things into their due prominence. True religion thus acts by restoring to all things their due proportions, by putting all things in their due perspective. In religions of human device the greatest stress is laid upon what is valueless and things of supreme moment are ignored, in nothing is the religion of Christ more signally in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:19

Circumcision is nothing ... - It is of no consequence in itself. It is not that which God requires now. And the mere external rite can be of no consequence one way or the other. The heart is all; and that is what God demands; see the notes at Romans 2:29.But the keeping of the commandments of God - Is something, is the main thing, is everything; and this can be done whether a man is circumcised or not. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 7:18-19

1 Corinthians 7:18-19. Is any man called Brought to the saving knowledge of Christ, and to a participation of his grace; being circumcised Having been born of Jewish parents, and therefore circumcised in his childhood, or being a proselyte of righteousness, and therefore circumcised; let him not become uncircumcised Not act as if he were desirous, as far as possible, to undo what was done for him by his Jewish parents, or others. Is any called in uncircumcision Having been a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:17-24

The life of God’s choosing (7:17-24)God wants Christians to be patient and to accept that their current state of affairs is God’s will for them for the present (17). Believers may have differences in marital, national or social status, but this should make no difference to their spiritual well-being. The important issue is obedience to God’s commandments. Even those who are slaves should feel no inferiority, but if they can be free, so much the better (18-21).More important than status in the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 7:19

19. Circumcision . . . nothing, but . . . keeping of . . . commandments of God—namely, is all in all. In Galatians 5:6 this "keeping of the commandments of God" is defined to be "faith which worketh by love"; and in Galatians 5:6- :, "a new creature." Circumcision was a commandment of God: but not for ever, as "love." read more

2. Basic principles 7:17-24At this point Paul moved back from specific situations to basic principles his readers needed to keep in mind when thinking about marriage (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:1-7). He drew his illustrations in this section from circumcision and slavery."Under the rubric ’It is good not to have relations with a woman,’ they were seeking to change their present status, apparently because as believers they saw this as conforming to the more spiritual existence that they had already... read more
